[quote=Anonymous]I’m bemused by a lot of assumptions here that talent shows can be run super cheap. (I suppose they could, but if we want to show communities what we can do, with the best we have, then I’m all for fundraising to get what we need. Apart from that some schools simply don’t have the audio/video equipment, so they have to rent it or borrow it. That can cost a pretty penny, never mind hiring someone to run the soundboard / mixer. For certain sets, you might need wireless headsets, or for others boundary microphones. None of this is cheap. (For a set of, say, five girls, all micc'ed up, you’re talking three hundred dollars per child, or fifteen-hundred dollars. A mixer is three to eight hundred dollars. Quality speakers, if they aren't built-in, can cost another few thousand dollars.) Props can also run the gamut of cheap to expensive. The entry fee may also be a reflection of the space, maybe they want to keep it under a certain maximum of attendance.[/quote]
